broken sun

Every time Gu Saqing made a mistake, it was the adults who came out to smooth things over. This time, because Gu's mother was still lying on the hospital bed, although Gu Saqing was responsible for the disaster, the "victims" kept protecting them. It's hard for a man to say anything, except for Gu Saming, the other one is also soft-hearted.

Under the encouragement and persuasion of Gu's mother who was a "peacemaker" several times, Gu Saqing finally plucked up the courage and confessed his mistake to his brother, but there was no reply, the more he talked, the more wronged he became, and he started to cry .

This crying made the father on the side laugh happily and pushed him towards Gu Saming: "Let's see if brother is angry. If we do this again next time, no one will really ask for it. Let's admit our mistake again. It'll be fine."

Gu Saming caught and helped her, and squeezed Gu Saqing's arm: "I want to apologize to my mother."

This meant that the low air pressure had passed, and after Gu Saqing said "I'm sorry, Mom", she turned back and leaned on her brother, and finally vented all the energy she had held back for a long time.

Before leaving, Mother Gu still had a check-up to be done. The doctor came in with a little nurse who went to pull the bed curtain and was doing preparations aside. Gu Saming led Gu Saqing out of the ward first.

Gu Saming looked around in the corridor, and stopped the person who had been humming beside him: "Gu Saqing."

Gu Saming asked Gu Saqing to sit on the chair with a serious expression.

"This is in the hospital. Mom was admitted to the hospital because of you. If I don't pursue you today, it doesn't mean that you don't have to pay the price for doing something wrong. Gu Saqing, you were not like this before. If it is to challenge the so-called bottom line , doing crooked ways to gain attention, that can only mean that I said nothing last night. You know brother, don't let me down, do you hear me?" He lowered his voice, sounding tepid Huo, every word is extremely harsh.

Gu Saqing looked like he was about to cry again, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and said with a flat mouth: "Listen, I heard, I didn't mean to..."

Gu Saming wiped away his tears and told him to sit where he was, then looked at the green toilet sign at the end of the corridor in the ward, and hurried away.

Maybe it was a wrong decision to agree to Qi Nian to bring him here this morning, Gu Saming thought as he walked.

Qi Nian has been going to the toilet for too long.

At night, there is only one bright light in the bathroom at the washbasin at the entrance, and the rest of the place is a voice-activated switch, and the inner area is slightly dark.

Gu Saming looked like an empty bathroom, frowned and took two steps inside, the lamp above his head turned on, and the filament made two "clicks".

"Qi Nian?" He called out.

The door of a compartment opened, and a middle-aged man walked out, glanced at him twice, washed his hands and left.

Gu Saming was not in a hurry, he knew that Qi Nian had always listened to him, even though this "always" only lasted less than two weeks.

Qi Nian is full of atypical precocity and simplicity.However, Gu Saming once defined Qi Nian as a person who was "unreasonable and without any sparkle". The collective chose to ignore.

For this, Gu Saming apologized to others, to his brother for the first time, and said sorry.

Even if he didn't do anything wrong, he always treats people equally, even if he knows that he is his own brother, he doesn't leave any room for insignificant people.No one is supposed to be nice to anyone, and it seems reasonable for Gu Saming to treat him with indifference in the face of offense.

But he also regrets it.

So this is the low-level mistake he made.

Gu Saming walked to the window of the bathroom in no hurry, looked calmly and clearly at the winding and deep garden path outside, as well as the busy traffic separated by several buildings and a wall, but his nerves were tense.

There is actually no difference between the grand hustle and bustle of the city and its quiet shadow in the backlight. The so-called emotions are all given by the people who see them.

Qi Nian walked down from the aisle window on the 17th floor to the 18th floor. He didn't remember what he saw just now, and he didn't know exactly what was going on in his mind.

He felt that he had avoided it for too long, which was not his style.

Qi Nian wanted to see Gu Saming immediately.

"Brother, why did you go, why did it take so long..."

At the door of the bathroom, Gu Saming looked at Gu Saqing who had found him, speaking softly and looking dejected, and reached out to touch the back of his head: "You go back first and then accompany your mother. You will go home with your father later, and you have to write homework. It's over, you know?"

Gu Saqing's mind was spinning quickly, she nodded reluctantly after hearing this, and said vaguely but domineeringly: "Then where are you going? Don't go looking for him...I don't like him."

Except for the medical staff who occasionally came in and out of each ward, the whole floor was very quiet. Gu Saming was silent for a while, and asked, "Why?"

Gu Saqing turned her head to the side: "I just don't like him. Why do you still come here to show off their big villa? Brother, don't you also like their house?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was thinking, and he finished speaking logically, tilted his head, and kept silent as if frightened, and shrank towards Gu Saming.

Qi Nian came out from the corner of the stairs.

He was holding his schoolbag shoulder strap with one hand, while the other hand was hanging down, standing there silently.He was very white, and the part of his skin that was exposed to the air and light had a porcelain white luster, almost blending with the wall behind him.

Especially like a puppet.

Qi Nian's beautiful black and white eyes were closed, and he looked straight at the past eeriely, as if a puppet had been possessed strangely.

Playing malicious games for a long time, Qi Nian looked at Gu Saqing who was scared to hide after only half a second of staring at him, and he didn't forget to feel refreshed for a while.

——This is the real child, soaked in pampering, a child who is still growing up but not growing up, unruly and self-willed, proud of pampering.

If you want to deal with it, it shouldn't be a big problem, Qi Nian thought nonchalantly.

But he didn't have much interest. The so-called jealousy only made him want to have Gu Saming's attention.

Or rather, want to prefer.

In the next second, Gu Saming turned his head and saw him.

On the way back to the villa, they sat in the last row of the bus, the bus seats were next to each other, Gu Saming's arm was also touching his, the temperature was enough, but Qi Nian was sweating profusely and his heart was cold.

The smell of gasoline burning exhaust was poured into Qi Nian's internal organs along with his breath, stirring his fragile nerves mercilessly, and the nausea intensified. Qi Nian grabbed the side of the chair and scratched his short nails recessed into the hard plastic bench.

When the driver in front made a sharp turn, Qi Nian leaned back and forth because of inertia, as if the river was overwhelmed, forcing him to go to the side and grab Gu Saming's arm.

Gu Saming turned his head, saw his pale face under the dim yellow light inside the car, and quickly stretched out his other hand to support him: "Qi Nian, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Without waiting for Qi Nian to answer, Gu Saming pulled him up from his seat and took him to the back door to stand there.

Said to be standing, Qi Nian's back almost leaned on Gu Saming's body, his fluffy legs couldn't hold up much strength, but he didn't stagger once during the next stop.

He and Gu Saming got off the car directly at the next stop.

Qi Nian sat on the stone bench on the green belt of the sidewalk, the camphor tree above his head was rustling by the night wind, and the mottled shadows of the trees fell on Qi Nian.

He felt much better during the period after he got off the car, only his head was still a little dizzy.

It took a while for Gu Saming to rush towards him from the newsstand, holding a bottle of water and a small box in his hand.

Gu Saming also sat down, handed the water to Qi Nian, opened a small box in his hand, poured out something from it, and said, "Open your mouth."

It was a mint candy. After Qi Nian opened his mouth, he was fed it into his mouth. It stuck to the tip of his tongue, releasing a cool and slightly sweet factor, which began to climb to the taste buds and spread into his throat.

"Turn on the water and take a sip." Gu Saming directed.

He saw that Qi Nian was much better than when he got out of the car, so he knew that Qi Nian was motion sick.

Qi Nian was like a pawn, flipping it and moving it, Qi Nian opened the cap of the water bottle and took a sip, his dry lips were moistened and shimmered.

Then they fell into a silent atmosphere, as if they were relatively speechless.On the road in front of them, there were cars whizzing by constantly, tires crushed the ground, and the car body pierced the air, emitting obvious arrogance and being isolated from them.

Gu Saming felt troubled, this kind of Qi Nian was the source of his anxiety, he didn't cry or make trouble, he seemed to be full of alienation and defense, not much better than the initial needle point against the wheat light.

Gu Saming knew that what he wanted was not a simple and obedient Qi Nian.

What he wants is the same Qi Nian as the carefree little fat man in his mind.

But it seems that Qi Nian has been sad because of his brother from the beginning to the end.

"Gu Saming." Qi Nian slowly turned his head, and suddenly called him softly.

Gu Saming remained silent for a long time, and when he responded, his voice was hoarse: "Huh?"

Qi Nian looked at him, the thin and smooth lines on the side of the neck were vaguely hidden into the collar, and the shoulder line of the school uniform fell from the shoulders.

His eyes are still stubborn: "Can I ask you some questions?"

Gu Saming took the water from his hand and threw it into the schoolbag at hand: "Speak."

Qi Nian held the small wafer in his mouth, babbled slightly, and said, "What did that girl say to you today?"

If it wasn't for Qi Nian's serious expression, Gu Saming would have thought that Qi Nian was talking about him around him, deliberately playing tricks on him.

He pursed his lips and said succinctly: "She asked me if I had received what she gave yesterday, and then briefly recounted the contents of the love letter."

Qi Nian couldn't see any changes or waves on Gu Saming's face. The reason for the dim light played some role, making him look flirtatious and giving people some reverie.

Perhaps this is why so many people are willing to take a gamble, knowing that the ending is rejection.

"Don't you like them, then who do you like?" Qi Nian asked.

Gu Saming didn't know how the topic became like this. In fact, he had no obligation to answer Qi Nian's question at all. Gu Saming kept his jaw tight and kept silent, as if he was thinking about how to respond, his eyes became as deep and complicated as the surrounding twilight.

"Do you not like anyone?" Qi Nian put on a "sensible" cloak and said a few words that night, and now he poured out all of them fearlessly, "I don't think so, you just like Your former parents and younger brother, right?"

Obviously he was sad and said such stubborn words, Gu Saming looked at his reluctant expression, only to realize that he had never seen Qi Nianxiao before, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

It's no wonder that Gu Saming couldn't match Qi Nian with those fragmented pictures at the beginning. During the years he didn't participate, what did Qi Nian go through to become what he is today.

He bent the corner of his mouth as if relaxed, and said in a low voice: "Who said it, you said it?"

Qi Nian stopped taking the bait, there were low bushes behind them, and farther away was a stretch of thousands of lights, Qi Nian only looked at him without distraction, blinked very little, and then said slowly: "It's nothing People like me, you know, people around you, your classmates, friends, brother, many people, and my mother, don't like me."

He didn't look sad, and he spoke very gently, because it was such a common thing, and it wasn't a big deal.

The important thing is-

Qi Nian took a breath of the cool night air with his lightly opened mouth: "Then do you like me?"

Qi Nian didn't seem to want to wait for an answer.

He has never been stingy in showing the truth to Gu Saming, no matter if he is hostile or surrenders.

Qi Nian only said to himself: "I like you."

Gu Saming has heard this sentence from many people, usually with various modifiers, and there are also those who say these four words straightforwardly like this.In the past, whenever someone asked Gu Saqing, Gu Saqing would always say "I like brother", but no one spoke like Qi Nian, without any charm or even any easily detectable emotion//color.

But he heard a kind of unreserved giving in such words like never before.

It’s like saying “I like you” without sticking to or belonging to any relationship.

Gu Saming heard him finish this paragraph coldly, no matter whether it was confession or confession, Gu Saming's brows became deeper and deeper, and his throat tightened.

He regrets it very much.
